Unicode Version 17.0
ᒌ
U+148C "ᒌ" Canadian Syllabics Cii is a character used within the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, a script system developed in the 19th century to write various Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree and Ojibwe. This specific character represents the syllabic sound "cii," formed by combining the consonant sound "c" with the long vowel "ii." In its typographic form, it resembles a rotated or mirrored Latin glyph, often featuring a triangular or angled shape with a vertical stem that distinguishes it from other syllabic characters in the family. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that this symbol can be digitally represented and preserved for linguistic and cultural documentation.
